{THE ORDINARY MOMENTS 15} Teddy Bears and Teapots

When Little Ladybug was around 4 months old, I discovered a local music class run by Hillary and Stacey of Hartbeeps.  This is the one baby group that I have been loyal to over the last years.  It is on Monday mornings so it helps to start the week off active and keeps us from being sad that Mr L (aka Daddy) is back at work.  I met a couple of my really good friends at this class and have enjoyed watching our children get older together.  When it was time to head back to work after maternity leave, Little Ladybug went to a childminder that I met at Hartbeeps.  These days I get to take her every Monday to the "Happy House" session that is designed for toddlers to 4  years old. Little siblings are welcome so now Bumblebee Boy comes too.

We Met Elmer - Hemel Hempstead

We had fun when we went to "Story Time" at Hemel Hempstead Library.  The 1st Saturday each month at 11:00 am is "Story Time" at Hemel Hempstead Library. A very special guest came today .... Elmer.  Elmer is the colourful elephant in the much loved books by David McKee.

We listened to several adventures of Elmer and then Elmer arrived to lead the children around the library in an Elmer's parade.  The children got to create their own version of Elmer by using milk containers cut in half and decorating with colourful squares.  

The library also handed out World Book Day Tokens to the little children.  My children chose Elmer's Parade by David McKee and The Dinosaur That Pooped A Lot by Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter with their tokens at the local Waterstones.
